- Oklahoma Jewish Charter Case Heads to Court as Debate Spreads to Other States
The founders of the National Ben Gamla Jewish Charter School Foundation in Oklahoma are challenging the state's refusal to approve their charter school, arguing that Oklahoma's nonsectarian requirement for charter schools constitutes religious discrimination. The case, which could determine the school's opening in 2027, follows a similar legal battle over a Catholic virtual charter school that deadlocked at the U.S. Supreme Court. The court will address whether the school can open during the litigation and whether families can access proposed policies.
